... was chaotic -- it was a public transit boat that was loaded to beyond full, and which costs 15 baht (50c) to ride. There is much yelling and pushing as the boat bucks and bounces off the dock and somehow nobody falls into the river in this chaos (although I came close - as I tried to take photos at the wrong time).
